Luke 24:38 — Meaning and Application

And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace {be} unto you.

But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them {his} hands and {his} feet.
